This family, originating in the West Riding of Yorkshire (WRY), moved to the Tynemouth district of Northumberland during the 1840s and became a Geordie coal mining family. At least two branches of this family came to New South Wales from the 1880s. One branch settled on the Newcastle and South Maitland Coalfields. Another branch settled in Lithgow and Sydney, with one member of the family becoming a member of State Parliament.
